Grandstream GWN7001 VPN Router | 6‑Port Multi‑WAN & 50 VPN Tunnels
Grandstream GWN7001: Powerful Multi‑WAN VPN Router for SMEs
The Grandstream GWN7001 is a Multi‑WAN Gigabit VPN router that combines wired routing, a built‑in firewall, VPN capabilities, and centralised access point management into a single, easy‑to‑deploy device. It is designed for small to medium‑sized businesses that require high availability, secure remote connectivity, and simplified network administration – all at an affordable price point.
Guaranteed Uptime with Load Balancing & Failover
Reliable internet access is not a luxury, it is a necessity. The GWN7001 supports up to 6 WAN‑configurable Gigabit ports, allowing you to connect multiple internet service providers (ISPs). Its intelligent load balancing distributes traffic across available links, while automatic failover ensures business continuity by instantly switching to a backup connection if the primary link fails. This is critical for VoIP, video conferencing, cloud applications, and electronic payment systems.
Enterprise‑Grade Firewall and Security
The GWN7001 integrates an advanced firewall with a comprehensive suite of protections: Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) for application‑level monitoring, URL/DNS/web content filtering, Anti‑DoS attack prevention, and flexible traffic rules. Extensive VPN support (IPsec site‑to‑site and client‑to‑site, SSL VPN, PPTP, L2TP, with WireGuard pending) provides secure encrypted access for remote workers and branch offices, using robust encryption like AES, 3DES, and DES.
High‑Performance NAT and VPN Throughput
At the heart of the GWN7001 is a Dual ARM Cortex A53 1GHz CPU with 256 MB RAM and 256 MB Flash. It delivers 2.2 Gbps NAT routing performance and 530 Mbps IPsec VPN throughput, handles 30,000 concurrent NAT sessions, and supports up to 50 VPN tunnels. This power ensures smooth operation even with multiple high‑speed connections and heavy usage.
Advanced QoS & Traffic Management
Voice, video, and other real‑time applications receive priority bandwidth through advanced QoS. The router supports multiple traffic classes based on port, IP address, DSCP, and application‑level identification (App QoS), along with VoIP prioritisation for crystal‑clear call quality. VLAN (802.1Q) support enables flexible network segmentation for security and performance.
Built‑in Wireless Controller for GWN Access Points
The GWN7001 includes an embedded controller (accessible via web UI) that can manage itself and up to 150 Grandstream GWN series Wi‑Fi access points without additional hardware or licensing fees. For larger or multi‑site networks, free GDMS Networking cloud platform and on‑premise GWN Manager provide unlimited centralised management, zero‑touch provisioning, and real‑time monitoring.
Easy Deployment, Management & Global Compatibility
The GWN7001 comes with a universal power adapter (100‑240VAC, 50‑60Hz) compatible with Pakistan‘s 220V/50Hz grid. It can be mounted on a desktop or wall, and ships with a 1‑year limited warranty (up to 3 years in some regions). Certified with FCC, CE, RCM, and IC, it is ready for deployment anywhere.
